Bookmaker posts odds of 66-1 for a royal wedding performance after Agnetha F�ltskog says Abba 'could consider' re-forming for a one-off concert in 2011
Could Abba reunite for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding? Rumours are swirling after singer Agnetha F�ltskog said the group "could consider" getting together for a one-off concert next year, with bookmakers posting new odds for a royal wedding performance. "It would be fun to get together," F�ltskog said. "It is just a feeling I have."
For a long time, an Abba reunion has seemed an impossibility. "We will never appear on stage again," Bj�rn Ulvaeus told the Sunday Telegraph in 2008. "We would like people to remember us as we were: young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition." But the first sign of changing minds came in September, when singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad, said "it would be great to do something" with her former bandmates. "It would be hard to avoid all the pressure because of Abba," she complained. "It could never be low-key."
Now, F�ltskog seems to be entertaining a full-blown re-formation ? at least for one night. "We would not reunite for a tour like the Rolling Stones and other old bands do now," she reportedly told M magazine. "However, I could see us doing something together in the future." Although the Swedish group have not performed together since the 1980s ? and have hardly even appeared together in public ? F�ltskog seems to think the sexagenarians still have it. "A reunion, an occasional opportunity, maybe in connection with a charity event," she said, "I believe we could consider it."
Ladbrokes has posted odds of 66-1 odds for Abba to perform at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in April ? the same odds as for Abba to have a US no 1 in 2011, or for Mexico to win the 2014 World Cup. They're offering rather shorter odds on a handful of other acts: 9-4 for Sir Paul McCartney to play, the same odds as Dizzee Rascal. Why not book all three?
